Just noticed there is already another thread on this. Sorry for the duplication.

The final results are in. $432K for the Clemente rookie and $357K for the Aaron rookie. To each his own, I guess.

mind boggling...a nice home...or a gem mint clemente rookie card....uhhhhhhh...I think I'd opt for the $$$$$$/house Bob!!!

[drc]

I agree. Though I think the Jackson, Clemente and Aaron rookies are nice cards. I'm not blaming the cards.

Bottom line, it helps the hobby. Any time high end dollars ar spent on newer and newer cards, the more the entire market pulls up with it. So, if he wants to pay 20x for some 60's cardboard...all the best to him.

[travrosty]

total insanity, chasing a number to move up in some registry and paying 20 times a premium for it.


reggie jackson tried to collect mint specimins of his rookie card and wanted to get a few hundred of them so he could sign them and sell them, but they burnt up in a fire. and here a jackson rookie goes for 115+ grand?

previosuly a gretzky rookie for 90+ grand. also previously an ozzie smith rookie for over 20 grand? its totally ridiculous. the o. smith in d. young's collection went for over 19 grand. what's going on? people are crazy?
